Yeah they're kind of ancient, but if they work, who cares.

I wanted the calculator watch when I was in school :P

well the speel that our tutor was going on about is that Haskell is a functional language, that it's not object oriented. It's also lazy - ie intelligent, it can figure out a lot of things on its own - but an example of this is like zipping ( putting things from a list and another list together to make a list of pairs ) a small list with an infinite list. Any other language would have to compute the infinite list before zipping it to a small one, whereas haskell will only compute it to the point it needs to.

It's also apparently becoming more prelevant as haskell is very good with multi-core processors and parallel computing, so it's faster than other languages.

but it's also a bitch and nobody uses it

Kasperg, I remember those days when you were making these creative and unconventional HL1 maps.

This "Falling Water" simulation was one of my favorites.

When I extracted the files, I can see the mod in the Steam library, and I can start the mod. But once in the mod, the background texture is missing and I cannot start a new game.

Now those digital Casio clocks with paracord rope will make you look a bit strange... though it's pretty resistant. Nice job!

Never heard of this language! I wish we could upload knowledge like this to our brains, i have no patience/drive to learn coding, yet i would love to know how, good luck! =P

oh cool it's all one piece, neat =)

The only downside i can see to them is adjusting the wrist size, other than that they look way more comfortable thatn plastic/rubber, and they look cool, well done! =)

And yeah, the images are gigantic. Surprising ImageShack will let you upload images that big.. have a heart for us non-broadband-surfing peeps =)

Learn You A Haskell is exactly what i'm reading, and with some thought I actually got to that.

the real issue was I had no idea how to do rotate, to which after some thinking I got

rotate :: Int -> [Char] -> [Char]
rotate a xs | a >= 1 && a <= (length xs) = (drop a xs) ++ (take a xs)
| a < 0 = error "the number is negative JUST LIKE YOUR OUTPUT ON LIFE"
| a > (length xs) = error "your rotation is too large LIKE YOUR MOTHER"
| otherwise = xs
to which I could do

makeKey :: Int -> [(Char, Char)]
makeKey rotateChar = zip ['A'..'Z'] (rotate rotateChar ['A'..'Z'])

there's some other stuff I can't do but I guess that's what these tutorial sessions are for.

Better start off with something like python.

You people should set your email to hidden.

Or, you know, maybe TWHL shouldn't show it to users that aren't logged in.

I've heard that Haskell is very good for coding AIs but that's about all I know about it.

Yea disco, plus they're cool because if you need rope you can take it apart and get about seven feet of it.

I got them from craft stores i.e. Habby Lobby and Michael's. Here's how to tie the cord.

Video

To attach the watch, stop brading the knots half way across the bracelet. Remove your watch band pins and bands, then place the two middle pieces of paracord under the pins and replace the pins. This may be tough to fit them under and you may have to slightly bend the pins with pliers. Once the watch face is in place continue brading, the first knot after the watch face is actually opposite from the pattern, to make the knots jump across the watch horizontally, you'll understand when you learn to tie the knots. The rest is explained in the video.

Here's how it should look from below

This is all how to do it with one strand/color. To do it with multiple colors like my grey and black one search multiple color paracord bracelet on youtube. The rest applies.

You're right, that is pretty cool.
Where did you get the watch parts, and what kind of process do you go through to braid and attach the cord?

Wow, you got Haskell as a first-time programming language? That's harsh. Ouch, seriously :P

On the other hand...if you don't give up, you should learn certain concepts much faster :)

I don't know Haskell, but here's a JavaScript solution in case that helps :P

Click for JSFiddle

Edit: Looks like you've already got a rotate function from a previous exercise, with that method the general process would be something like this:

1. Get list of characters from A-Z:
['A'..'Z']

2. You want to create pairs for each item in the list:
('A', rotate 'A' 5)

3. So, you have the list and the method that converts each item in the list into the result you want. This is called a map, or I think the Haskell term is `list comprehension`:
[(x, rotate x 5) | x <- ['A'..'Z']]

4. Put it in a function , change 5 to an input parameter:
makeKey n = [(x, rotate x n) | x <- ['A'..'Z']]

As I said I don't know Haskell so sorry if this is misleading or incorrect! Also I'm not passing your course for you so don't expect me to give you all your answers :P

I'm sure you've already come across this but I hear Learn You A Haskell is a great way to learn the language.

I don't really see how it can be a scam, or what the harm is in responding to it. All it's asking is if this website is or is not associated with the company in question, because they share the name... Simple misunderstanding.

"Hide email" works wonders.

Since they already have your email, you could very well reply saying they're not associated with you, to see if it's legit and where it takes you. Just change your name if your address isn't it, and you're set.
